COLUMBUS, Ohio - Lee Martin was brutally attacked in his own bed more than one month ago. The death was never reported by police or any local media outlet, and 10TV just learned about the case this week because of a viewer tip.

"I don’t see how anybody could do that to anybody, let alone an 85-year-old man," said Regina Wiget, a longtime friend of Martin.

In the early hours of June 29, someone attacked Martin in his home on Martin Avenue. Later that morning, one of his sons found him covered in blood and called 911.

"My brother Lee gave me a call at 7:30 in the morning," said one of Martin's sons, John Martin. "He was freaking out and said something happened to dad."

John Martin says, what happened, was someone attacked his dad with a large knife, perhaps a machete or meat cleaver.

"It just puts thoughts in your head, things you want to do to somebody," John Martin said of the sight of his father in the hospital after the attack.

The injuries were gruesome and ultimately fatal. Lee Martin died at Grant Medical Center on July 5.
